Non-Precipitating Shallow Cumulus Clouds: Theory and Direct Numerical Simulation
S. Ravichandran, Roddam Narasimha
We model cumulus clouds as transient diabatic plumes, and present a single-fluid formulation for the study of the dynamics of developing shallow cumulus clouds. The fluid, air, car…

Understanding droplet collisions through a model flow: Insights from a Burgers vortex
Lokahith Agasthya, Jason R. Picardo, S. Ravichandran +2
We investigate the role of intense vortical structures, similar to those in a turbulent flow, in enhancing collisions (and coalescences) which lead to the formation of large aggreg…

Caustics and clustering in the vicinity of a vortex
S. Ravichandran, Rama Govindarajan
We study the formation of caustics in vortex-dominated \flows. We \find that only particles starting within a critical distance of a vortex which scales as the square roots of the…
